One Night Bodyguard | One Night Series, Book One

Somewhere in Paris…   A breeze of cold wind blew rattling the stray leaves on the cobalt street of the abandoned alley while the only source that light up the place was the light illuminating from full moon. The moon was shining in the sky in its full glory while sky was partly clouded. The whole calming surrounding would be considered quite romantic but it was entirely different for someone who was running in the vicious uninhabited street of Paris where not even stray cats would wander at night. There was no sound accept the only sound that could be heard were of someone’s haggard breathing as it echoed in the dark alley. She ran like demons from the depth of hell were chasing her. She ran as fast as she could with her killer heels on and not to forget her designer dress which now felt like sack of stones on the cobalt streets;      Run as fast as you can… Run because if you managed to escape

 “Merci…” He said as he paid the cab driver and steps out of the car meantime a wave of crisp wind blew - the jacket of his tuxedo blow with the movement of the wind. With exhaling air as it turned into fog because of the cold – ignoring the weather, he steps inside the building, and as soon as he walks in the old country bar, the smell of alcohol mixed with human odor hits his nostrils. He looked out of place in the rustic bar as he made his way towards the dimly lighted bar, well thanks to his attire he received winks from the women in ill-fitting clothes as they passed by him. Some openly brushed against him except his mind was too far to realize that at the moment, he was the eye candy for every woman in that bar. Not only women but even men were intrigued by his personality – he had an aura of authority around him filled with arrogance as he walked towards the bar. The reason he chose the unusual country bar was to avoid any meetings with his previous one-

Flashback "Rania my child always remember that your mom and dad loved you, stay here and you will stay safe" Mrs. Alejandro said with trembling hands as she hugged her daughter for one last time and kissed her forehead; "Don't come out of here,Okay", Her mother said before closing the walk-in closet door.   The 9 years old girl who was petrified sat down on the floor and brought her knees to her chest - she cleared the tears from her face with the back of her hand swallowing the dry lump forming in her throat. She leans towards the door trying to hear the noises coming from downstairs; "Huh..." Rania gasped when she heard the sound of four gunshots reverberates in the air and then a painful scream filled the air. She covered her mouth with her both hands and closed her eyes while tears rolled down on her cheeks. She kept on praying a

"I am not a bad guy like you think… I am here to protect you until you are somewhere safe and secure, Please allow me to be your Bodyguard" He pleaded as he pulls her closer like he doesn't want to let her go as he wraps his one arm around her waist. Rania looks at him thoughtfully and then looks behind his shoulder – the gangsters were still roaming around looking for them. Daniel could see the doubts in her eyes and before she could speak, he interrupted; "Trust me for once and I promise you won't regret it" He says as he softly caresses her jaw with the back of his thumb. "Allow me to take you somewhere safe because believe me no men on this earth could protect you tonight the way I can"   She had never been so close to a man intimately let alone the thought of dating. After all these years she was in the arms of a handsome man but in a wrong situation. She might have liked this English man if they were in a different circumsta

"Thank you for everything you have been doing, you were right without you I might have been Dead. Thank you for saving me and fighting for me when it has nothing to do with you. You must have had plans to spend your night with someone but here you are helping me to get somewhere secure and safer far away from those goons,  Thank you" Daniel sighed as her words echoed in his ear and the way she touched him. He couldn't get over the fact that she kissed him and the way the tips of her fingers brushed against his jaw was like she wanted to know how would it feel. He had wanted that moment to stay forever like that but soon their moment was interrupted when he caught his old friend behind the door of the makeup room witnessing their conversation. Before the lady would say something, he interrupted her and called out his friend to stop sneaking. Daniel was now seated near the fireplace after he had showered and changed his
